Inspirations: My mother, best friend, and lifelong muse,
Jeannette J. Tiess,
passed away on April 8, 2020. She was extraordinary, always inspiring me to
improve my art and my life. I devote the best of my works - past, present,
future - to her and to my father,
Robert J. Tiess, Sr., who passed away in 1987.
He was incredibly brilliant, resourceful, generous, exemplary, and devoted to his family.
